This time, I used peels of 3 yellow bananas. Greenish bananas are better for 'meatballs', as the riper the banana gets, the thinner and sweeter the peel becomes.
Carefully wash the banana peels under running water, and wipe off the water.
Chop the banana peels, onion, and carrot, and put them into a mixing bowl. Add the oregano, nutmeg, flour, bread crumbs, egg (if you are vegan, use a flax egg instead), and some salt and pepper. Mix them all -- using hands makes your life a lot easier.
Cover the mixture and let stand in the fridge for 30-45 minutes. If you skip this step, your meatballs will fall apart so don't forget to rest the mixture.
Take out the mixture from the fridge, and form it into meatballs. I've got 12 meatballs from the mixture this time.
Put the olive oil and sliced garlic in a pan, and turn on the heat. Saut the garlic until fragrant. Then add the tomato pure, red wine, sugar, soy sauce (it's a secret ingredient...), and salt and pepper, and stir the sauce on medium heat until it starts to simmer.
Gently add the banana peel meatballs to the sauce. Make sure the meatballs won't stick together.
Simmer on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, with the lid on. Turn the meatballs halfway through.
Season to taste and garnish with parsley and parmesan. Serve hot!
